Problem

One of Bob’s jobs required engraving lettering into the floor of the New York Public Library off of 42ndwhich, is made out of marble. While researching different techniques to do this job, he realized that he needed to use some sort of portable sand blasting system to have enough power and to get finish he wanted. Most of the portable sand blasters are either used in a cabinet or too big to haul into a public library.

Bob’s Criteria:

Small

Portable

Powerful

Easy to use

No cabinet

Precision blasting

Solution: Portable Sand Blaster

That’s when he found our portable sand blaster, the Mobile Problast. After a few phone calls with Bob, he sent us a piece of marble to blast on to ensure that our blaster was powerful and precise to ensure success on the permanent marble floor of the New York Public Library. Upon receiving the sample piece of marble back from Vaniman, he was convinced to buy our portable sand blaster and proceeded to finish his problem with no issues. Bob recommends our product to anyone who needs a portable sand blaster.
